CASTOR and POLLUX: OR, An Heroic Poem Upon his Majesty's Victorious, and Princely Generals, The Dukes of Cumberland, and Albermarle. TO equal You, Great Heros, we must fly, And fetch a Constellation from the Sky. Castor and Pollux are the fittest Pair To make a Parallel, For as They are The most admired Example how one Mind May rule two Bodies, and their Judgements bind, So in this Martial Expedition Two Heads, two Hearts concentre all in one. That Heavenly Twin bear also chiefest Sway Upon the Ocean, and his rage allay: For when They cast their Influence, and look clear, The doubtful Pilot needs no Shipwreck fear: They Lord it o'er the Main, And so do you, Beating the Germane waves from white, and blue To a Red-Sea, while the Batavian Boor Swim's in's own blood, and runs for life ashore To fire his Beacons, and to make the bells Ring backward in confused alarming knells Which made the Rebel Provinces all quake, And Foggy Holland like a quagmire shake A Country questioned in Geography If of Gods making or of Man's it be Forced from another Element, (And King Where Fish should spawn, And Spain should spread her wing.) Poor Boors, presume no more Great Charles to Face, Unless it be to impetrate his Grace That you may fish for Herring, Cod, and Cunger To keep your Vrouws, and Kinderens from hunger: Take heed of English Oak, and let your Broom With the Red-Cross no more to grapple come, Lest that your Lion which you bear half drowned Sink to the bottom quite, and ne'er be found. Go on Brave Amirals, may You have still Like that Celestial Pair one Mind and Will: Cast. Poll. May They still steer your Cours on Sea, and Strand Till you complete the Mighty York in hand: May Heaven with Trine Aspect 〈◊〉 ●air and clear To keep Charles Wayne still glorious in his Sphere, The Famous Prophecy of Grebnerus (Reflecting upon the northwest Isles) paraphrasd in Verse, and Englishd.
